More quotes by Melinda Gates
As a parent, the responsible thing to do - if you love your child - is to vaccinate your child.
Melinda Gates
All of a sudden people in the United States start to realize that vaccines make a difference. The controversy and the myth that's there, we're always trying to bust through that. So when I see a disease outbreak, I say to myself, OK, that'll get people realizing how lucky we are to have vaccines.
Melinda Gates
Government funding that's coming from the United States is making a huge difference on the ground in the developing world. It's really palpable - it's making a huge difference saving lives.
Melinda Gates
It is still just unbelievable to us that diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child deaths in the world.
Melinda Gates
We started our foundation because we believe we have a real opportunity to help advance equity around the world, to help make sure that, no matter where a person is born, he or she has the chance to live a healthy, productive life.
Melinda Gates
Connect deeply with others. Our humanity is the one thing that we all have in common.
Melinda Gates
In the developing world, it's about time that women are on the agenda. For instance, 80 percent of small-subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are women, and yet all the programs in the past were predominantly focused on men.
Melinda Gates
If you don't have an effective teacher in front of the classroom, you won't change the trajectory for students.
Melinda Gates
You can't save kids just with vaccines.
Melinda Gates
I think it's very important that we instill in our kids that it has nothing to do with their name or their situation that they're growing up in it has to do with who they are as an individual.
Melinda Gates
Women and girls face a whole host of issues. We start with health, so we work very deeply on maternal deaths, making sure that a mom doesn't die in childbirth, making sure that she has access, for instance, to AIDS medication.
Melinda Gates
If you can't travel to the developing world, look at helping to fund a woman with a small loan and follow her. Learn her story. Learn about the difference that you're making.
Melinda Gates
When we invest in women and girls, we are investing in the people who invest in everyone else.
Melinda Gates
Vaccines are a miracle cure. Eight out of 10 children are getting vaccines.
Melinda Gates
You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
Melinda Gates
I felt suicidal. I couldn't stop crying. I remember thinking, wouldn't it be great if the car crashed and I died?
Melinda Gates
Our desire to bring every good thing to our children is a force for good throughout the world. It’s what propels societies forward.
Melinda Gates
Helping people doesn't have to be an unsound financial strategy.
Melinda Gates
Bill and I both firmly believe that even the most difficult global health problems can be solved.
Melinda Gates
We have to look at it country by country. In places like the developing world where, as you say, in Mumbai, it's about five hours' gap between what a woman does and a man does. You have to start by recognizing the problem and talking about it, trying to change those roles.
